Silver fractions of the “Kugelreiter” tetradrachms

Abstract

The author has collected all the available documentation about the small Norican silver coins of the so-called Kugelreiter type. Two groups can be distinguished by the images on the reverse of the coins: on the reverse of the coins of the first group a rider is depicted, while a rosette is depicted on those of the second. The coins of the first group are characteristic primarily for the Carinthian region of southeastern Austria, and the coins of the second group for the region of Friuli, the Soča area and southwestern Carinthia. The minting of these small coins, which correspond to a quarter-drachm, can be placed in the middle of the 2nd century BC.

Keywords: small Norican silver, 2nd cent. BC, Friuli, Posočje / the Soča area, Kärnten / Carinthia
